Whilethis loving tribute to a special someone isn't specifically about the artist's mother, lyrics like "Everything that you've told me I thank you every day for," certainly make it applicable to a mother-daughter relationship.
This heartfelt country song was Chris Lane's gift to his mother for Mother's Day 2021. Inspired by a conversation with his mom, it's a touching tribute that captures the boundless love and selflessness of motherhood.
This '80s hit is a fun and upbeat anthem that celebrates the joy of female independence and self-expression, capturing the essence of a carefree spirit that mothers might reminisce about from their own younger days.

The film was officially announced in 2016 under the official title. However, Shivan and Sethupathi began working on other projects. Until, in 2020, after Shivan's film with Sivakarthikeyan was shelved, he revisited the script and began production that year. Principal photography commenced in December 2020. It was shot sporadically in several legs, with filming locations including Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Mysore, and wrapped by late-March 2022. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography jointly handled by S. R. Kathir with Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.
Ranjankudi Anbarasu Murugesa Boopathy Ohondhiran, known as Rambo, is born into a family that is subject to a curse that states that anyone that marries into the family will die. Rambo's father, determined to break the curse, marries a local teacher named Minah Kaif while his brothers and sister remain unmarried. However, the curse strikes when Rambo's father accidentally slips from a tower and dies announcing his son's birth. Minah suffers a stroke shortly after and becomes paralysed.
Rambo's uncles, aunt, and the whole village believe that the birth of Rambo has brought bad luck that his father tried so hard to fight. Rambo grows up believing that he emanates bad luck wherever he goes. When his mother suffers a seizure in his presence, he runs away from the village for good, believing that his proximity to her makes her ill.
Rambo takes on two jobs to earn a living. During the day, he works as a cab driver. At night, Rambo works as a bouncer at a pub. He meets Khatija Begum at the pub and the two develop a friendship. One day, Rambo confronts Khatija's violent boyfriend, Mohammed Mobi, after he slaps her. Khatija breaks up with Mohammed and begins spending more time with Rambo.
While driving his cab, Rambo also meets Kanmani Ganguly, a saleswoman who raises her younger sister Minmini and her differently-abled brother, Bhargav. Kanmani attempts to find a husband who would allow her siblings to live with her after marriage, but to no avail. Both Khatija and Kanmani develop feelings for Rambo, which Rambo reciprocates, and both women propose to him on the same day. Though Rambo is surprised that two fabulous women have fallen for him, he quickly realises that only their love has turned his bad luck around for good, so he accepts both of their proposals.
Not knowing how to proceed with his double love life, he gets help from Prabhu, a reality show host, who makes Rambo concoct a story that he has a memory disorder that makes him forget events that happened during the day and night alternately. The ruse falls apart when Rambo reveals that he has memories of both women and is equally in love with both; it is up to them to sacrifice their love for the other person. Both Kanmani and Khatija refuse to do so and stand by their decision to marry Rambo. The three move in together, and though both women dislike each other at first, after the unexpected death of Khatija's father, they strike up a friendship. The two women find out from a friend of Rambo's that the reality show was staged and kick him out of the house.
Rambo's friend asks them to travel to the village one last time to see Rambo's mother, who is seriously ill. Rambo decides not to go back as he fears his presence could worsen her condition. When he is forced to go, his mother miraculously recovers, leading the village to believe Rambo's presence now brings good luck. They beg both Khatija and Kanmani to marry Rambo so the family's curse can be broken and all his aunts and uncles can get married. The women eventually agree and host a wedding ceremony for not only Rambo but also his entire family.
After the rest of the family is married, Khatija and Kanmani walk out of the wedding, each sacrificing their love so the other person can marry Rambo. A year later, the three meet again, with Rambo saying that their relationship was enough to break the curse. After the two women leave, Rambo shocks his neighbour by telling him that Katrina Kaif has started chatting with Rambo as his new girlfriend. Rambo tosses his phone and leaves, leaving an unaware Katrina waiting for him online.
After the success of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015), Vignesh Shivan had planned a script for a triangular romantic film starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, with actresses Trisha and Nayanthara under consideration for the female leads.[5] In 2016, Vignesh announced that Vijay Sethupathi would play the lead role in his film, titled Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal; Anirudh Ravichander was reported to score the music, marking Sethupathi and Anirudh's second collaboration with Vignesh after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.[6] Produced by A. M. Rathnam, the shooting of the film was supposed to go into production in August 2016, until Vignesh decided to remake the Hindi-language film Special 26 (2013) for his new project, the Suriya-starrer Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018)[7] and also to work with Sivakarthikeyan for another film produced by Lyca Productions, which came under the tentative title #SK17.[8]
After #SK17 was shelved,[9] Vignesh decided to revisit the script with the same cast and crew members. On Valentine's Day 2020, Vignesh announced the film officially under the same title Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal,[10] reporting that he will produce the film under his own banner, Rowdy Pictures, along with Lalit Kumar of Seven Screen Studios.[11] Nayanthara and Samantha were officially announced as the female leads. It was touted as being a love triangle story.[12][13]
The film was initially announced with Nayanthara and Trisha starring. However, due to Trisha's exit from the project citing scheduling conflicts, Samantha was later announced as the female lead in February 2020.[citation needed] This film marked the third collaboration of Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara after Vignesh's Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) and Imaikkaa Nodigal (2018), where Sethupathi appeared in a cameo role, and his second collaboration with Samantha after Super Deluxe (2019). Anirudh Ravichander was announced as the music director, after having regularly collaborated with Vignesh, since Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Vijay Kartik Kannan, who was initially announced as the cinematographer left the project after completing two schedules of the film, due to date clashes and was replaced by S. R. Kathir.[14] The film marked the debut of Shweta Sabu Cyril (daughter of veteran art director Sabu Cyril), who joined the film's team as the production designer.[15]
Vignesh Shivan announced through his Instagram on 21 March 2021 (World Down Syndrome Day), that 15-year old Bhargav Sundar, who has Down syndrome, would be joining the cast.[16] It was also announced in October 2021 that dance choreographer Kala Master would make her acting debut with the film, as part of the film's supporting cast.[17] In November 2021, veteran actor Prabhu announced that he will play an important role in the film.[18] Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth,[19] Redin Kingsley and Lollu Sabha Maran, confirmed their presence in the project as well.[18] In the first look released on 15 November, Vignesh revealed the names of the lead characters as Rambo, Kanmani and Khatija respectively.[20][21]
